API plans and limits

One plan catalog, two categories. Every plan covers Polymarket crypto and sports markets — more than 1.31 million of them — and every plan queries at the finest available resolution, 250ms for crypto and sports alike, including the free Starter plan. Sports access covers the most recent 30 days, so the 30-day window returns both categories and the 60, 90 and 120-day windows are crypto only. Latency: measured server-side history reads (~1ms); end-to-end <50ms on well-connected networks. Pick a data window, add speed or Backtest AI as needed, and pay with card or 300+ cryptocurrencies at checkout.

  • Add-on — +$19/mo on any data window for the same AI replay with your own L2 history

FAQ

More questions answered on the FAQ page →

Is Starter really free?

Yes — Starter is free with no credit card. Sign up, verify your email, and create an API key from the dashboard. Pick a data window from $19/mo (30 days of history, up to 120) and add Backtest AI for +$19/mo, or get the standalone Backtest AI plan for $29/mo with 30-day market data and unlimited strategy backtests — all from the pricing page with card or crypto checkout.

What does resolution mean?

History endpoints take a resolution parameter (how finely points are returned). We run a 250ms capture loop over open markets. Every plan, including the free Starter tier, can query down to 250ms. Coarser buckets (1s–1d) stay on every plan.

Which markets are covered?

We collect and serve Polymarket crypto and sports markets from a single catalog behind one API key. Pass category=crypto or category=sports to narrow a request to one of them, or omit it to page across both. Other categories, such as politics, are not covered yet.

Does the free plan include sports, or is sports a paid add-on?

Starter includes sports at full coverage — it is not a paid add-on and there is no second key or client. Coverage is not tiered by category on any plan: every plan, free Starter included, reaches all 1.16 million crypto and sports markets and all 360 series. Finest resolution is 250ms for both categories, on every plan; the only things a plan changes are the history window and the rate limit.

What happens if I hit a rate limit?

Exceeding your plan's per-minute or daily caps returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds). Slow your client and retry, or upgrade to a faster speed (Fast +$19/mo, Heavy +$39/mo) from the pricing page for higher limits.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Yes. Paid plans support card payments and 300+ cryptocurrencies at checkout. Starter stays free with no payment required.

How do I cancel or change my plan?

Open your dashboard and click Manage subscription to open the billing portal. You can cancel, update your payment method, or download invoices there. Plan changes take effect after the provider confirms the update.

Can I buy bulk data dumps?

Not as a standard self-serve plan. Enterprise customers can arrange S3 bulk exports in Parquet, CSV, or JSON — one-time or on a schedule. Email contact@polyorderbooks.com or see the Enterprise tier on pricing to discuss.
